Questions

Good to know

How is air freight priced?

Air freight is charged on whichever is greater: the actual weight or the volumetric (size-based) weight. We'll work this out for you and show it clearly on your quote.

Can you ship batteries or dangerous goods by air?

Some restricted goods, including many lithium batteries, can be flown with the correct packaging, labelling and paperwork. Tell us what you're shipping and we'll confirm what's possible.

Do you handle customs?

Yes. We prepare and submit export and import declarations and can calculate duty and VAT before your goods arrive.

Can you deliver into your warehouse?

Yes. We can deliver straight into our Thame or Rotterdam fulfilment centres, ready to be picked and packed for your customers.
